Check it out, yo...
The Coffee Mill Carolers got some ink (and pixels online) on their Monday Christmas-song-related outreach work.
Coincidentally, every one of these establishments was robbed on the same evening! And at Christmastime no less! Doesn't anybody know the meaning of Christmas??!!?

Fa la la la la ( la la la la....)
Merry Christmas!
That's the holiday that does the most for me. I guess I still have to buy a tree!
Anyhoo, Ralph, Susan, Frankie, and I trudged out into the cold cold cold yesterday to spread (or generate) some holiday cheer. We went to the ladies clothing store. We played Jingle Bells. We went to the health food store and sang Christmas Time's A-Comin'. We hit most of the stores along the street. The knick knack shop, the Mexican restaurant--Feliz Navidad! We hit the jewelry store where they put a parrot on Frankie! We went to the barber shop. We went to the bar! We went to the music store! We went to the tattoo parlor, which honestly, was my favorite. There was a kid in there with a Santa cap with Naughty written on it in green glitter. He did some serious flat-footing for us.
We played Silent Night. We played a tune with Kendall when he caught up with us. We played What Child is This? (aka Greensleeves)
We attracted a few extra carolers. It was groovy. Merry Christmas!
I was surprised that the Vintage Cellar was closed--it's a week before Christmas!!! Prime $$$ time!
We had a camera crew with us, so maybe the video will turn up somewhere.

Bluegrass Caroling on Dec. 17
Be tuned-up and ready to leave The Coffee Mill at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 17, as we embark upon the incredible yuletide crusade. We'll stop in a few stores and regale them with a couple of tunes (which is all we know).
We did this last year at the behest of Frank Fitzgerald and had fun. Radford's downtown isn't the most hopping place on Monday nights, but the shopkeepers enjoyed us!
The last jam of the year follows at 7.

Heap Big Jam Last Night
I had to sit out last night on baby sitting duty, but the crew down at the Mill didn't miss me a bit. Wayne was driving Vernon on the mandolin, two fiddles, a bunch of banjos, and a positive HERD of guitars made quite a racket. And don't take this the wrong way, but for so many folks jammin' away, it sounded surprisingly good.
Kudos to you-o's!
Mark you calendars:
December 21st -- JBs* at the Blackwater Loft Cafe in Floyd, VA
January 19th -- Side Door #3 in Radford, VA.

JBs* at the Blackwater Loft Cafe in Floyd Dec 21.
A bunch of JBs folks are playing a pre-Christmas show in Floyd. Our bass player doug can't make it, and Ralph maybe out, too. That's why we're calling it the JBs*, with an asterisk. If youz wanna have a good time, come out and watch us whip up a mostly new show!
